Halfway Reflection

·             The behaviors I have used for this class is consistency and planning. With a busy schedule, I found myself always checking the calendar to see when assignments were due. Once I figured out the pattern, I was able to plan certain days that I would do the week’s assignments. Since there are new assignments every week, consistency has been a large key to my success thus far.
·             Once my classes and other obligations began to pile up, I found myself wanting to give up. What pulled me through was the fact that I am here to learn as much as I can, so there was no giving up. I feel my tenaciousness has developed in the last two months because of how consistent my schedule has been. It showed me that I can pull myself through if I am determined.

·             Some advice I would offer is to find a couple days a week that you can dedicate to the class. This will help with the skills that support tenacity. Also, I would recommend to go through the assignments and plan out what you really can not do and budget your time and points that way. Finally, I would also to try doing every assignment. Especially the ones that may challenge you. In order to develop a “tenacious mindset”, I would advise to remind yourself why you are in the class and in school. Additionally, reaching out to your classmates and teaching assistants is important for development.

  1. So far, I've seen that a lot of people have said planning and consistency are important to this class. If there's one thing this class has taught me, it's to plan ahead and not wait until the last minute. Some of these assignments will take more than a few hours to complete, and some will require you to be out of your comfort zone. The class does a great job of pushing you to develop skills. Overall, your thoughts are very similar to mine.

  2. Like you, I also had trouble keeping up with assignments. I also had to make a schedule as to when I would do assignments. I found that it really helped out. Creating a schedule is great advice to give to other students. Also, doing every assignment is great advice. I wish that earlier on I would have done every assignment so that I could relax a little bit later in the semester.
